Cup, ring and groove marked rock west of the path between Black Hill and Loftshaw Gill is a prehistoric rock art panel located on Middleton Moor in Yorkshire. The rock bears cup marks, ring marks, and linear grooves characteristic of Bronze Age rock art traditions found across northern Britain, typically dating to the second millennium BCE. Such marked rocks served ritual, territorial, or ceremonial functions within prehistoric communities and remain significant archaeological evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and symbolic expression on the moorlands. The monument's position within the wider landscape of Middleton Moor Enclosure situates it within a complex of prehistoric activity and land use.
